Why not?
It doesn't matter where you keep the kernel sources. The driver Makefile has to have the kernel sources path set accordingly.
The use of /usr/src is just to keep it under one directory so one doesn't need to keep searching for different kernel sources in the system.

what does it means to have a configured and built
kernel?
1. To have the kernel sources installed. 2. To have MODULE load/unload support in the kernel (usually enabld by default). 3. To have the kernel installed and running on the system.
Please help I am totally new to device drivers!
